	The [[M41A Pulse Rifle]] makes a return appearance in ''Alien³''. Although the film takes place on a prison planet, Fiorina "Fury" 161, where no weapons are present, these rifles make a brief appearance near the very end of the film, carried by commandos (according to the novelization) from the Weyland-Yutani Corporation that land on the planet to retrieve the Alien and the Queen Alien that Ripley ([[Sigourney Weaver]]) is carrying. The commandos fire the Pulse Rifle on Aaron ([[Ralph Brown]]) after he strikes Michael Bishop ([[Lance Henriksen]], credited as Bishop II) with a wrench. The grenade launcher, while present, is never used in this film. In the novelization, the commandos carry [[(Aliens) - M56 Smart Gun\|M56 Smartguns]].

The weapons were made from an [[M1A1 Thompson]] submachine gun with a [[Remington 870]] shotgun underneath the shroud and foregrip of a [[Franchi SPAS-12]]. The weapon was finished with a custom-made futuristic aluminum shell. Only one functioning weapon was used on the production; this rifle had also been used previously in the filming of ''[[Aliens]]'', although for this appearance the shroud was painted black instead of "Brown Bess" as it had been for the preceding movie. The remaining weapons were new, non-functioning props built for filming with black vacformed plastic shrouds. Notably, none of the weapons in this film feature LED ammunition counters, whereas they did in the preceding movie.

Note that the sound effect for the pulse rifle in this film is quite different to the sound effects used in ''[[Aliens]]''; whether this is intentional or not is unknown. Also note that when the pulse rifle is fired in this scene, it is once again possible to see shell casings flying from the M1A1 Thompson submachine gun used to build the prop, even though the M41A is portrayed as a weapon that fires caseless ammunition.]]
